So, today I’m sailing off to Nanaimo for the weekend.
I booked this trip a few months ago completely oblivious to the fact that Taylor Swift was in town for the end of her tour. So yeah, it’s nice to bet getting out of the city.
Received a call from the medical examiner’s office in Edmonton this morning. The official cause of my brother’s death is going to be listed as “accidental” due to a fall. I would assume that due to the advanced state of decomposition that the exact cause of the fall can’t be determined. But I’m willing to go with either an O.D., a heart attack, or an epileptic seizure.
I had an unexpected interview with Wallis Snowdon of the CBC on Thursday. I first got a call from my legal team at Napoli Shkolnik advising me that this reporter wanted to talk to me.
The interview was only supposed to last a few minutes, but it went on for close to an hour.
The results of the interview can be seen here:

Kevin Martin of the Calgary Herald also ran this story:

The interest in this story seems to have been reignited by the recent decision by Justice Neufeld to both allow the class action lawsuit against the Canadian Armed Forces to proceed and for me to be the representative plaintiff.
The Department of Justice and the Department of National Defence cannot be too pleased about this.
I am also somewhat pleased that my desire for Medical Assistance in Dying has been made a more prominent aspect of this whole sad saga. I’m happy that even Judge Neufeld is aware of my desire.
From here on in I’m not going to be spending too much time going over the details of what happened from the fall of 1978 until the spring of 1980 and then how the Canadian Armed Forces and the Department of National Defence reacted to the events of CFB Namao. I think that I’ve gone into great detail on the events on my various blogs that I’ve run since 2021.
I will be delving more into why I want M.A.i.D. and why I think that M.A.i.D. is the correct decision and why M.A.i.D. should be allowed for people in my circumstances.
